The following is an update of the AL and NL MVP Chases through the May 31 games.
The MVP Chase reflects the number of games in which:
The player's team won the game
The player had three or more Bases Gained (BG): total bases + walks + steals
The chief determinant for the MVP is the sheer number of games in which the player had three or more bases gained (3+ BG) in a victory. When players have the same number of such games, I rank in order of percentage of team victories in which the player had 3+ BG.
In this list, I have included not only the number of 3+ BG in victories, but the overall record of the team when the player has 3+ BG. It gives a clue on how effective teammates are in helping win the games.
